10 TIPS FOR SURVIVING AN INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT WITH KIDS

I’m so surprised by the number of parents who panic over flying with kids. Even to the extent that they won’t travel with them. 

I don’t want that for you because travel with kids is amazing and flying with them can be a fun experience…if you know how to do it right. 

Start with preparing your child for the international flights

Involve your children in the flying experience. Sit them on your lap when you book the ticket. Let them pack their bags. 

Have ample food for your child on the international flight

Pack plenty of water and their favorite snacks, perhaps a sandwich or two. Be sure your child has a healthy meal before they board the plane as well. 

Taking frequent toilet breaks will help your child keep moving. If you need to go to the bathroom, take your child with you and make them go, as much as you can. 

Keep your child moving on international flights

These can be a lifesaver when flying internationally with children. There are limited number of bassinets on the plane. 

Pre-book a bassinet

Have a bag for the kids filled with plenty of things to entertain them. We always include coloring, activity books, reading books, journals, and toys or comforters.
